Editing Pages Documents

I'm hoping against hope here. My Mac is an ancient macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6 and I can't edit my Pages documents. Any recommendations?

Do you have Pages installed? If not, have you ever, on any Mac, installed Pages since October 2013?

If you have purchased Pages at any time since October 2013, open the Mac App Store & sign into the same ID you used to make the original purchase then hold down the option key while clicking the Purchases tab on your High Sierra Mac. If you see Pages, Numbers, and Keynote with Update/Install buttons, it may offer to download a previous version of these applications compatible with High Sierra.

In Mojave and later releases of macOS, one must enter ⌘+0 (zero) to get to the previous purchases panel in the Mac App Store. This changed from the option+Purchases tab in High Sierra and earlier.

See VikingOSX’s reply in this discussion in the Pages for Mac forum.
